Om mig

Forskning

I am a political sociologist whose past work has probed social movements, media discourses, subcultures, and the post-Soviet space. In my MA thesis I developed a typology of far-right activists’ online collective action which was awarded the Central European University’s Best Thesis Award. Most recently, I have been involved in editing 1971: Parallel Nonsynchronism; a museum catalogue and collection of essays on shifting Soviet era cultural policy in Hungary. In my doctoral project, I plan on challenging elite-centric understandings of cultural mainstreaming in favor of a “mainstreaming from below” through a mixed methods approach.
